I have noticed that my users at remote sites may want to forward an
email message to another person within the group who has an account on
the same server. Clearly the message is delivered to the client via
imap and then sent back to the server. This can be very time consuming
for messages with large attachments.

Is there a way for postfix to recognize that this is a transfer to the
same server and this can be done internally?

Thanks, Jim
